Dear FINRA;

Please do not add 'nanny state' type restrictions on inverse and leveraged ETF's. As an investor, I need access to a variety of investment options, including long and short leveraged ETF's.
The introduction of onerous restrictions on investing in these types of funds would not serve the public interest.

To whom it may concern, Although regulations within a society are important, I disagree with regulators limiting an individual's ability to choose publicly traded investments. Leveraged and inverse funds carry increased risks, but it is an individual's right to invest in them. As an individual, I am perfectly capable of understanding these types of funds, however, if I choose to invest without learning about them, that is also my right. Regulators do not require people to have in depth knowledge of individual stocks, which can also be incredibly risky.

Please do not restrict the use of leverage/inverse funds. I understand the function of these funds and the risks involved. I am capable of mitigating the risk and use the funds when they present a particular advantage. These funds can be a significant importance in moving around the markets.

Hello,

As a individual investor within the US, I feel that it is a right to invest in funds as I see fit without a need to undergo special training or requirements. Doing so would limit the free market dynamics and adversely impact the economy.

Please reconsider this rule.

Thank you,
James

I am an experienced, educated investor using a self directed account. I use leveraged ETF's regularly, and safely to increase my income stream. I understand the risk and implement the necessary trailing stops.

I oppose restrictions to my right to invest. I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for and public investments should be available to all of the public,
not just the privileged.

I feel that as long as I am the one paying the taxes on what I earn i should be allowed to invest as much of my hard earned money as I can. This is money I earned and I should be allowed to decide how much I invest and save without being penalized or paying higher taxes on my income.

i want freedom to invest in public securities..do not change it..

There has not been a better example to keep retail investors at a disadvantage to institutional powers this regulatory notice is rooted in un-American values

I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for you and your family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before you can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds.
